So, remember how I had lost the links to the Bollywood-ed Powder? Thank my darling best friend Envy, because she found them for me!

The movie trailers can be found here.

So, when looking up reviews for one book, I ran across reviews for other books... and, lo, there was a Laurell K. Hamilton reference: 
"Bear draws as well from the Anita Blake and Meredith Gentry books of Laurell K. Hamilton, especially in the character of Keith, the ambivalent werewolf prince, and in her depictions of life at the Faerie courts, but ( Read more... )

We just watched the Single Worst Waste of a DVD in the history of mankind. No, not Alexander. Worse. The Black Dahlia. It was obviously made by people who usually make bad Cinemax porn, but they inserted stupidly weird murder scenes in place of porn. Sadly they attempted dialogue. The art of Writing is probably still off crying in a corner.

However ( Read more... )

Once Upon A Time by Marylyle Rogers.

Once Upon a Time was the first non-Harlequin romance novel I ever read. As a 12-year-old I was utterly amazed at the prettiness of this book, the people in it, and yeah, the sex. It is about Lady Amethyst Danton (she has a brother named Garnet and even at 12 I thought he should've shot their parents), who kind ( Read more... )

I just realized this while replying to someone in lkh_lashouts, but I do have a major problem with the main characters in chick lit. They're just generally all quite stupid. Now, I have read a couple chick books with heroines I liked, or could identify with, but... why must they all be so dumb??! Is it just art imitating art because there are so ( Read more... )

Article on Janet Evanovich from Entertainment Weekly, June somethingth.

"If you want to cry, you're not going to like my books," she says briskly. "If you want a really good plot, you're not going to like my plots. My books have pizza and cussing and sexy guys." Evanovich, 63, can't recall the last time she herself read a literary novel, though she ( Read more... )

I just finished Sword of Darkness by Kinley MacGregor (aka Sherrilyn Kenyon). I will share my thoughts on it. It will not be pretty, as I am feeling particularly savage. If you liked this book, go away now. I'll talk to you when I feel more sufficiently decontaminated.

Dear Sherrilyn Kenyon,

I have at last managed to read one of your novels. I ( Read more... )

I am reduced to Netspeak Capslock of WTF. It's awful. Aweful. Hidious. Heinous. Atrocious. And I'm a fan of the Merry series.

Seriously, it's like a closet-obsession. It's my hormone-candy word porn. But even I cannot overlook the repetitive horribleness of the first preview chapter of Mistral's Kiss. Especially not in conjunction ( Read more... )

Dear Sherrilyn Kenyon, 
 I. Hate. You. 
The Lords of Avalon? Sucks so hard I cannot begin to describe the suckage. It's like I lost several brain cells in an attack by a rabid Dirt Devil.

Angela Knight called and she wants her universe back. She says you can keep your dialogue.

No thanks,

PS. I want a refund, but I'll settle for using the ( Read more... )

What the bloody effing hell is this? I turn on a Segall movie, I want stuff exploding and people dying and bullets flying. I don't want the cinematic bastard child of a Dorothy Garlock novel ( Read more... )
